Jam . Jam . Jammy (Apricots)

My father got lots of Organic Apricots from Armenia this time. I am fond of dry fruits.. I hope everyone knows apricots are little sour .

So this was the reason of them sitting in my pantry for quiet a long time. So I decided to make a jam out of it . Though preparation was not as quick as the decision . The peocess of making jam itself was a longer process I had few challanges in between like:

1. My baby crying extremly loud

2. Change her diapers

3 Play with her.

4. Doing laundry

5.Give her bath

6. Gas is out in stove .

Phew!!

But I was able to finish it. Good job Swathi !!

I took 500 g of Apricots and made two bottles of jam which costs around 450 bucks in store. So technically saving 200 bucks and also making my husbands stomach happy.

Recipe :

Ingredients :

500 g Apricots

1 Litre of water

300 g Sugar ,Actually you can go up to 500 g

Saffron -Few strands ( Eyeballed them)

Cinammon sticks (Good preservative)

What I Did??

1. Cut the apricots into chunks and soak them in water overnight.

2. Next day I take a heavy bottom pan and cook the apricots ,stirring occasionally for half hour

3. Add sugar,saffron ,cook untill a thick consistancy has reached(Stir constantly).

4. Add cinnamon sticks and immediately put them in sterilized air tight containers

5. Close the containers after they are cool.

P.S: You need to stir it constantly . It took one and half hour for the whole process :)
